Marella Family Cruises Reviews

We have been fortunate enough to have been on a range of holidays with various tour operators and different cruise lines. Our most recent being Cunard Line. A far cry from Marella, on pen and paper anyway. We wanted to try something new and after watching lots of reviews and videos online, we decided to give them a try and when a good deal popped up, we booked. We chose an itinerary that we ...

Upon arrival , the exterior of the ship appears underwhelming , you can tell it’s a older ship, quite small in comparison with some of the other super cruisers that are a option, but this carry’s its own charm upon boarding. This was our first ever cruise and America / New York was always on our places we wanted to visit , the price although was expensive in comparison to European holidays , ...

We sailed for our honeymoon in July 2023, this was our first cruise so I don’t have any previous experience to compare to but we really enjoyed our holiday. Cabin We booked a junior suite on deck 8 and our cabin stewards were fantastic. There was an issue with a plug socket not working, I reported it on the navigate app and then went to explore the ship. When we got back an hour or so ...

Have been on Discovery 6 times now. After refurb cabins are looking good. Only one thing missing I would say and that was an extra little couch/chair. Crew as always were brilliant and so helpful. Our Cabin Steward Cyrus and his team were great and would wave from one end of corridor to the other!! A few hiccups, none of which bothered us at all. Bimini tender running aground, we were on first one ...

We have always wanted to go to the East Coast of America, so this cruise was perfect for us. On board, we chose to use the Islands Restaurant, primarily because the buffet food selection was excellent, and had great views. We would like to thank Natassia, Carlos, Carter and Manbir for their friendliness and for looking after us and all the other customers so well. Our cabin was spotless and ...

Really enjoyed this 2 week cruise from Barbados good ports of call, Grand suite cabin was fantastic the best room on 20+ cruises, huge balcony with lots of room for everything in the cabin. main restaurant food was really good buffet was ok but had better with other cruise lines, poolside entertainment team were very good, unfortunately one of the poolside acts was a piano player I think his last ...

My wife & I booked this trip at the last minute and can honestly say "WOW!" Although we had to miss Cambodia due to the virus situation we were blessed to have an overnight stay in Vietnam which turned out fantastic for us as it gave us time to see Ho Chi Minh and a trip down Mekong Delta. The staff & crew were fantastic especially the waiters Damoder,David,Dede & Ernesto. The ...

We chose this cruise on Valentine's Day when we found an amazing price on line. Flying from Manchester was quite smooth but our disembarkation in Thailand was so slow and frustrating. Once at the ship our check-in was quick and easy and our cases were at our room within the hour. Our cabin: deck 2 outside was clean and tidy and our cabin crew kept it spotless throughout the cruise. The ...

I was Very hesitant,husband booked it really wanted to go (Without the virus) just wasn’t on my to do list How wrong was abs amazing Would not have gone to the countries without going on a cruise the itinerary was excellent and was adapted due to restrictions what also made it was knowing I was goin back to a wonderful friendly ship everything and everyone was amazing and made lasting ...

We boarded in Muscat and chose this cruise for the itinerary stopping at Mumbai, Goa, Mangalore, Cochin, Sri Lanka, Sabang & Phuket. We knew most of the ports. There wasn't lots to do in Mangalore or Sabang but we knew that before but it was good to get off and have a look around. Quite a few days at sea so be prepared to be up early if you want to lay in the sunshine. We enjoyed the ship, ...
